What If I listen now
What if I stop the plow
What if I set it down
What if I understand
This is what I can stand
This is where I should land
Do anything but don’t expect results
If I live to be strong
If I live to be longer
Do anything but don’t expect their love
If I live as I want
If I wait then it’s gone
Somebody told me not to stop I saw the pain of lies in their face
And they remembered when they’d lost they didn’t want me blaming their say
I found the answer there’d been signs along the way I’ve chosen
To die of chores and
To lie to loved ones
Present myself as a rock.
